NVIDIA Titan V Benchmarks Show Volta GPU Compute, Mining and Gaming Strength (hothardware.com)
MojoKid shares a report from Hot Hardware: Although NVIDIA officially unveiled its Volta-based GV100 GPU a few months ago, the NVIDIA TITAN V featuring the GV100 began shipping just this past week. The card targets a very specific audience and is designed for professional and academic deep learning applications, which partly explains its lofty $3,000 price tag. Unlike NVIDIA's previous-gen consumer flagship, the TITAN Xp, the TITAN V is not designed for gamers. However, since it features NVIDIA's latest GPU architecture, it potentially foreshadows next-year's consumer-targeted GeForce cards that could possibly be based on Volta. The massive 21.1 billion transistor GV100 GPU powering the TITAN V has a base clock of 1,200MHz and a boost clock of 1,455MHz. The card has 12GB of HBM2 memory on-board that is linked to the GPU via a 3072-bit interface, offering up 652.8 GB/s of peak bandwidth, which is about 100GB/s more than a TITAN Xp. Other features of the GV100 include 5,120 single-precision CUDA cores, 2,560 double-precision FP64 cores, and 630 Tensor cores. Although the card is not designed for gamers, the fact remains that the TITAN V significantly outpaces every other graphics card in a variety of games with the highest image quality settings. In GPU compute workloads, the TITAN V is much more dominant and can offer many times the performance of a high-end NVIDIA TITAN Xp or AMD Radeon RX Vega 64. Finally, when it comes to Ethereum mining, NVIDIA's Titan V is far and away the fastest GPU on the planet currently.

Spend thousands of dollars to build a machine that will take months or years to be taught to shake, speak, sit up, roll over, beg, and fetch, and it can't even do it properly 100% of the time

Seriously, which do you think you should pick?
At 82 MH/s, 250 watts, you can pay for this puppy in just under 14.5 months!
The only thing really new here is the marketing change. This is essentially an NVidia Quadro card being marketed to the consumer market instead of the business market.
Any gamer who has wanted power this far above the other gaming cards has had the option of buying a Quadro for ages. Back in 2005, I was gaming with a dual Xeon, dual Quadro GPU, quad display system. The cards cost several thousand instead of topping at around a thousand.
There are still higher end cards than this one if you have the money to spend.
But how does it perform when mining a real crypto-currency like Dogecoin?

And virtual currency mining? At the 3000 dollar pricepoint, or comparative cost to lower end GPUs?
Because looking at this one, it has 2x the memory bandwidth of a PS4 and at least 1/3-1/2 more bandwidth than the majority of high end cards available today.
I hear it's coming soon.
How long until it pays for itself?

But etherium is switching from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake in early 2018, so in a few months there will be no more etherium mining to do. ;-)

Gamers are getting screwed by miners making video cards cost MORE than retail!?
blame these dumb ass manufacturers. they can't get mining cards on the shelf to save their lives.
Tell that to the US Government!
Let's make like a bird... and get the flock outta here.
